Ok I believed the one that sold for $70 for a while. In my opinion I think people are honestly trying to devalue this pin because its such a wanted pin and people are having such a hard time getting it. It doesn't matter if it sells for $400 one day and $20 a month later the traders who have it will still trade it like a $400. It people are trying to devalue it so they hope they have a better chance at getting it, that's pretty pathetic. That's just my thought what's yours?
 
why would a seller try to devalue the pin by selling it for 20? not in any sellers best interest including thier own. I doubt a $20.00 listing is an attempt to devalue, I think it more likely one of these things:
1~ ignorant seller
2~mistake in listing
3~ counterfiet?
 
I'm thinking its just Marketing 101.

If you have a business that need advertisement, why not sell a pin at BIN and a friend buys it then cancelled so both have no feedback and no fees?

Were you not curious what else this person had for sale? Say you looked threw all their listing and just 1 or 2 people say "hey, I'd buy that", they just sold something that would may have sat there for awhile???

There are no dumb people on eBay. You know exactly what your listing. If its a potato chip that looks like a president, a car, coins or pins, you research a little before you list.

If you noticed their listings, they were there this morning and now selling today's DSF releases. I don't see anyone there buying a pin not knowing about Marquees in the secondary market.

I'm guessing the marketing plan worked. You saw. You posted as I did for the prior Marquee and everyone is curious and now looking at that persons listings???

BTW, like many on this Forum, I have the eBay App and have this pin saved so once it's listed to alert me via text and I got no text. So once it was listed, its auction was ended?

Nathan, don't worry. You will get all you Marqees. You deserve them. It's not worth being on eBay every second of the day hoping one pops up.

Am I looking at the wrong item or seller ? I do not see any of the pins released today.

maybe it was a trade that needed confirmation over ebay? I bought a little mermaid kiss the girl($65-$70) for $1 but actually traded for it. The seller just needed assurance through ebay I guess?

I saw that on the completed listings and thought to myself "dang, I wish I would have gotten that." Glad to now know that it wasn't a "real" listing.
 
hahaha it was still an easy trade. The Brave stained glass for it!!
as for Tangled I think it might have been a trade.
I've talked to other traders who have done that.
Besides, we all know that the Tangled marquee is 300+.
They are doing a bad/ obvious job of devaluaing it hahaha
I mean people are still going to trade it at a 400 dollar value.
Pin traders know wassup (:

Huh? How does that even work?
 
If that is really what they are trying to do I don't think it is nearly as bad as falsely inflating the prices. Not sure why this is a big deal, even if it is what they are doing.
 
It IS possible. I just bought this pin -->
pin81349


paid £8 for it. Seller didn't know how valuable it was :) So there is a chance that the seller selling the marquee didn't know as well..

LOL at all the speculation and motive questioning regarding my eBay listing and sale of the Tangled Marquee pin. There are as many speculations as there are forum members. Keep posting. I am enjoying the comments.

So you're getting a kick out of this? Stuff like that pisses people off. If you're getting some kind of kick or enjoyment out of people's confusion and shock that's sick
